    terrible story telling. Complete disappointment.
    Wont go too much in detail.
    The characters are all out of character,especially Joel and Tommy. They are apparently two biggest idiots in this game and blindly trust strangers. They re not stupid. They literally force you to play as Abby, person who killed Joel. They re p much forcing you to have a connection with Abby and her friends, but    terrible story telling. Complete disappointment.

    A heartbreaking, yet enlightening, emotionally driven and technical marvel.

    I never normally review games, but have been prompted to by the level of hatred and vitriol aimed at this game and those who made it. The story takes you where you might not expect, and while it may hurt to see the pain these characters go though, it's worth continuing. I understand that at times it can be grim,    A heartbreaking, yet enlightening, emotionally driven and technical marvel.

I understand that at times it can be grim, and many may have been turned off by this, but I implore you to give it another chance, as where it ends up is fundamental to understanding and accepting these early beats.

    I hope these people find it in their hearts to return to the game too, as the game is ultimately about the damage these notions can do to person beholden to them, and the ones that they love.

    If you’re on the side of people willing to threaten and harass others because a piece of media isn’t what you expect, I hope you take this message to heart, as this toxicity will damage you and those around you. We can all be better, good luck.    … Expand

    Probably the most freaked up game I ever played. By the end of the ultra-violent emotional rollercoaster my mind and soul were just numb. Even the "happy moments" are overshadowed by great darkness. In my opinion the feeling Naughty Dog were going for came through loud and clear. Arguably even to a fault...

    Sound && Graphics: 10/10. The game looks stunning and there's no one who can deny it. hate it or like it that's a fact
    However this is last of us.. The game is purely selling for its story, and this is where things go south.
    Characters that we love act completely out of character, Every so often you ll hear stuff about love, kissing ,Fing and doing other stuff. You know its true when the Crash Bandicoot Easter egg is a porn tape. This is the post apocalyptic world and everyone cares about having sex.
    New Characters re added just for story convenience. Jessie's role was to leave Ellie's, girlfriend (Dina) pregnant to raise the bar and then get shotgun to the face. nothing else. Dina is just there to replace Joel in Ellie's adventure but their chemistry is just not here, and the only thing she does, is to keep saying Ellie she loves her and become an obstacle when she reveals she carry a baby. Owen is there as the good guy who prevents his team from killing Ellie early in the game, then reveal to Abby that he got another one pregnant to create this love's triangle its own problem and then get shot by Ellie.
    Lily/Lev once again has no purpose in the game other than showing that his 'clan' kicked him out for shaving his head and acting like a boy, they tried to create this (Joel Ellie relationship) with these 2 where Abby protects Lev BUT its too late cause we the player Hate Abby for the mistreat of Joel and cannot accept her as the new Joel.

    Joel the protagonist of the 1st game gets killed after 1:30 hour of playing the game to set the goal for Ellie. Joel's death was expected BUT i believe no-one expected him to act so out of character just for plot convenience , especially when you have 2 Ellie flashbacks where you see him act like he used to. (museum scene and). Even Tommy who was with him acted so out of character.
    Last but not least we have Ellie, She loses her father figure early in the series, then she goes on this quest for revenge she kills and tortures people to get to her goal and when she does, she rescues Abby fights her, win and let her go. Its worth mentioning how the game had a time skip where we see Ellie and Dina having their own house with their baby and Ellie decides leave and go kill Abby after a long time has passed since their 2nd face off . She lost all of that to get her revenge just to stop. If i wanted a story with great power comes great responsibility Vibe i would have gone to Insomniacs Spider-man . It feels like going up mount Olympus to get water just to realize i left my bucket down to Athens.    … Expand

    Ok so on a technical level, the game is just amazing, that's undeniable even by the haters and trolls of the game, best looking game of the generation at the moment, the only one that is kind of equal to it would be RDR2. The gameplay is amazing, better than the first one.

The gameplay is amazing, better than the first one. You can easily go from sneaking your way around like Sam Fisher to beating everyone up like Kratos and it all flows together perfectly. Story (no spoiler here) is great too, very unconventional but great. Same goes for character development. The vast majority of people who complain about those too points either 1- didn't play the game and based their opinion on the leaks, 2-didn't finish the game and got mad at some point or 3- didn't understand it. everything in the story happens for a reason and everything any character does is justifiable and explained. NO character is "out of character" in this game.. except maybe for one thing near the end (not gonna say more because I want this to be spoiler free). Now is the game perfect, no, to me it's probably worth a solid 8.5 or 9 out of 10.. I give it a 10 to make my part in countering the tens of thousand of trolls and review bombers who gave it a 0/10 without even having played it and those who played it and again give it a 0/10 because they didn't like the story (which as I said, is objectively well written but just very controversial. It is meant to make the player feel angry and sad, it succeeded and those who can't handle it give it a 0). Remember, the vast majority of those who gave it a 0/10 made their review on the day of the release, considering the game takes around 25h to complete, it should be a good hint that they're just angry trolls.… Expand

    The name is "the last of us" not the "story of Abby". This game is about Joel and Elle, not about Tommy, David, not even to mention Abby. Neil knows this well and therefore he cheats.
    I spent over 100 hours with Joel and Elle and within the first hour of this gameplay, Neil slaughtered Joel and forced us to play 10+ hours as Abby and wish we can understand why she slaughtered Joel? NO    The name is "the last of us" not the "story of Abby". This game is about Joel and Elle, not about Tommy, David, not even to mention Abby. Neil knows this well and therefore he cheats.
    I spent over 100 hours with Joel and Elle and within the first hour of this gameplay, Neil slaughtered Joel and forced us to play 10+ hours as Abby and wish we can understand why she slaughtered Joel? NO WAY! In that world, everyone suffers, everyone has reasons, Even David has reason to eat human. I don't care what is Abby's reason, as long as she slaughtered Joel, she has to pay the price. Neil slaughtered my Joel, Naughty Dog will pay the price.
    As for Abby's reason? Come on, Abby's daddy wants to kill Elle first, Joel is about to stop murder, this action is justified even under our current law system. Even if the goal is to create a vaccine, does anyone ask Elle first? No. Unless Elle wants to give her life to create a vaccine, Abby's dad is a murder. There is no justice for Abby's revenge, period. Not even to mention Joel just saved her life 10 mins ago.
    Abby's story is meaningless, if she can turn back on WLF because someone just saved her life, then she shouldn't kill Joel in the first place. If Neil wants to convince me that Abby is a good guy, he nees to work harder.
    I won't deny this game is a miracle. This is the first time in my gameplay history that I wish the character die in my hand. When I play Elle part, I am careful and I don't want her gets any injure, when I see the scars in her back, it breaks my heart. As for Abby, I don't care, no stealth, all face to face battle, I just want her suffers. I won't forgive her, never. If Neil don't let Elle kill her for vengeance, I will do it. During the batter, I often stop playing and just watch, how, runner, clicker, WLF, etc, kill her. I even let her fell on purpose. How dare Neil force me to play Abby? This is unforgivable.
    I won't buy any games from Naughty Dog any more unless Naughty Dog officially apologies and fire Neil.    … Expand

    I hate zombie games and movies (except Zombieland and World War Z). I hate horrors.
    But I loved TLoU1 thanks to the story and relation between Joel and Ellie.
    The Part II is built on this relation, which was complicated by what Joel did and told at the end of Part 1. There are even some scenes in the same time as the Part 1, so we can live those time once again. But the weight of    I hate zombie games and movies (except Zombieland and World War Z).

    But the weight of the second story is much more heavy. I felt like a Charlie Sheen in Platoon - I could observe two similar persons eaten by hate and violence (somehow similar to Sheen observing two sergeants). And like in the Platoon similar persons become totally different. One chose hate to the end for any cost, even its own best friends and loved ones. The second... is changing on our eyes and chose redemption, compassion and hope.

    Meanwhile I could also watch the war, it's chaos and lies. At the end of the game I did what I could to not kill anymore if didn't need it, as I understood that what I was thinking about enemies before was simply not true - both sides had their rights and both were run by lunatics. And because the game shows violence so strong, I felt like I would really kill. And I felt these kills were bad.

    It was great adventure and great story. But still I hated the zombie parts - that's why I take 1 point from 10 and my honest score is strong 9.    … Expand

    I would recommend this to everyone who enjoy the braver and more thought provokong experience!

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.
